Ingredients
- 1/2 Cup sabudana (tapioca pearls)
- 1 1/2 Cups water
- 1/2 tsp cardamom powder
Instructions
- Rinse the sabudana pearls under cold water until the water runs clear.
- Place the rinsed sabudana in a bowl and add enough water to cover them completely. Let them soak for about 3-4 hours or overnight until they become soft and translucent.
- Drain the soaked sabudana and set aside.
- In a medium-sized saucepan, add 1 1/2 cups of water and bring it to a boil.
- Once the water is boiling, add the drained sabudana to the pan.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the sabudana, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- If using, sprinkle cardamom powder for flavor enhancement
- You can also add a small amount of ghee at this stage for richness, if desired.
- Continue to cook the sabudana in the water, stirring occasionally, until the pearls become soft and transparent. This should take about 10-15 minutes.
- If the porridge becomes too thick, you can add a bit more water to achieve your desired consistency.
- Once the sabudana pearls are soft and the porridge is well-cooked, remove the pan from the heat.
- Ladle the sabudana porridge into serving bowls.
- Serve warm as a nutritious and satisfying dish without the use of milk.
